She has authored or co-authored 16 books with more in the works, and speaks from experience.

You will also find material from her live workshops and some easy exercises at the end of select chapters. Every chapter is filled with useful information and inspiration about a different aspect of writing.When giving live workshops or talks, attendees frequently asked where they could buy her book and she didn't have one about writing. Writers' Tricks of the Trade was created from several of her columns with new material added.
